So apparently people think that by couponing, I am stealing?

You savings come out of the stockholders of the food companies. Over 50% of Americans have stock holdings of some sort, including mutual funds, often in retirement accounts. Seniors with not much money depend on these accounts to support themselves in their retirement. You have to decide if the tradeoff is worth it.

You're crazy. Companies are not cutting into profits by issuing coupons. The minute that coupons become a liability, they stop issuing them.

Shorter PP: companies are deliberately doing something that hurts their bottom line.

Why would the companies be doing that?

Then the stockholders should tell the Boards of Directors to stop issuing coupons.

To everyone on here, the Safeway app picks up on patterns if you buy enough of a single item over a period of time. For example, I get an electronic coupon nearly every week for bacon bits of all things, because I have bought them enough times. Others do not get this. Same goes to certain juices. The list goes on.

You are trying so desperately hard to be right, and you're just not.

OP where do you like to get coupons? I'll flip through the sundaybpaoer but it's usually for stuff I don't want (processed food) or requires you to buy a lot, so I usually don't bother. But o know there are other places out there and wouldn't mind some recs.

The logic is truly hilarious. "If you use that coupon, Grandma will have to spend her retirement years eating cat food!"

The PPs that have replied that their "hourly rate" is less than the savings from couponing clearly have no understanding of economics. Unless PPs' employers pay them for literally every minute they work, and they work literally every free minute of the day, then one's "hourly rate" has zero bearing on the question of whether couponing is "worth it" ... PPs' comments are just pathetic attempts at humblebrags and are indicative of their ignorance, insecurity, and snobbishness.

The only thing you are stealing is My Time. I truly think it's wonderful that you are a skilled couponer. But I HAAATTTEEE to get behind you in line. Please try to do your shopping at a non busy time at the store. And hold those coupons in your hand from the get go so that the person behind you can choose their line accordingly....
